Magic: The Gathering - 2 New Cards from Aetherdrift

First up, let's take a look at the Cloudspire Coordinator, an uncommon creature card that embodies the essence of Aetherdrift's red-white color pairing. This card introduces us to the Cloudspire Racing Team from the plane of Kylem, which was first seen in the 2018 set, Battlebond. The Cloudspire Coordinator not only boasts a power of 3, making it capable of crewing vehicles on its own, but also features an activated ability that allows you to generate Pilot token creatures to take the wheel. If you're planning to draft a red-white deck during Aetherdrift, this card could be a game-changer.

Next, we have the rare enchantment, Count on Luck. This 3-mana card, with its all-red-pip casting cost, offers a straightforward yet powerful effect. At the beginning of your turn, you exile the top card of your library and have the option to play it that turn. Known as "impulse draw," this ability can significantly boost your mono-red deck by providing you with additional cards to use immediately. It's a classic case of use it or lose it.

We're also excited to showcase Count on Luck in its extended-art and First-Place Foil versions. The extended art is a familiar treat, expanding the artwork beyond the traditional card frame. However, the First-Place Foils are a fresh addition to Aetherdrift. These dazzling golden cards are exclusive to the randomized buy-a-box promo pack included with every Aetherdrift box. Not only will all the rares in the set receive this treatment, but you'll also find 10 full-art lands with this special foil.

Mark your calendars, as Aetherdrift will hit the shelves on February 14, with prerelease events starting February 7. To delve deeper into the set's mechanics, be sure to check out the detailed guide here. Get ready to race across the multiverse with Aetherdrift!
